V9.1

This is a bugfix release for V9.0 which fixes the SNES database.

Release notes 9.0:

• update all SD database files to a new format (old database files on SD will not work anymore, you need to copy the new ones to the SD)
• add CRC32 calculation when dumping ROMs for almost every system
• add renaming correctly dumped ROMs according to no-intro
• add a log file to SD that keeps track of everything the Cart Reader does
• add copying part of the log file since last power on to the dumped ROM dir
• add auto mapper detection for NES/Famicom (only works for some cartridges right now)
• integrate all .h and .cpp files into Cart_Reader.ino to improve handling when using Arduino IDE
• because the available RAM on the Arduino is hitting its limit (everything over 80% dynamic memory usage will lead to display corruption on HW4/5) some add-on modules have been disabled by default and have to be enabled manually in Cart-Reader.ino if needed.
